My wife comes from the Syro Malabar arm of the Catholic Church (St. Thomas Christians)...we (Catholics) recognize the succession of St. Thomas down to present day Syro Malabar Catholics, and it doesn't mutually exclude the hierarchical nature that is seen in the Catholic Church (inclusive of all rites that are recognized as belonging to the larger Catholic Church). Great vid as always. Church history is super underrated IMO in most modern day Christian (non-denom) circles. I think a great place to start is reading from the Church Fathers, i.e. Ignatius of Antioch, Polycarp, Augustine, and going from there. You'd be surprised how much of modern day Catholicism, and Orthodox Christianity, has preserved the practices that Early Christians partook in.

[@theeternalsbeliever1779]

The history of Catholicism isn't one of "bad ppl crept in and perverted the truth". It's more a matter of "the entire structure of Catholicism was built on a lie". There was never any truth in Catholicism, because it was all built on appropriating heathen traditions and whitewashing them as Christian. The fact that the whole world bought into it only proves what Rev. 17:1-5 says about this church to be true.

@@beyond0077 sorry but Catholicism became universal because of a LOT of conquest! The Anglican Church (the British church, controlled by the king/queen of England instead of the pope), also were major parts of the colonization efforts. Because of the counter reformation from EUROPE, the Catholic Church wanted to ensure they didn’t loose their power… not because they genuinely cared about upholding biblical belief. My parents left the RCC. I’ve talked to some Catholics and done side research. Apparently the Bible isn’t the Catholic authority. The Pope and traditions of the Catechism are. Those traditions mostly come from Europe and Latin America (Spanish influenced more than Latin Indigenous) But the Bible is the Christian one… when it comes to authority, as Jesus is the head of the church, and not a European sovereign leader or Pope. Also the Anglican Church is very rooted in Catholicism because it was only a split over Henry the 8th. I believe in Christianity that roots from the Middle East. Not Europe… not Rome.

@@austinmorris3422 The question isn't why did it take x number of years to make the declaration. The question is what at the time caused the declaration to be made. Most of the time if not all the time the declarations made by the Catholic church is in response to something not preemptive. Just like why did the Church finally recognize various Marian dogmas after the1850s not earlier. The simple answer is because what the Church recognized as the Marian dogmas was already agreed by the church (Major Protestant Reformers, Catholics, and Orthodox) prior. Then controversy arose about Mary in the 1800s calling into question role Mary plays as it pertains to her relationship to Christ. Thus the Church had to, due to controversy, formally declare the teaching. The same can be said about teachings surrounding the papacy.

Since I am a Catholic living in Croatia, I can give you a recap of what was happening both with Catholics and Orthodox from 17:00 to 29:00 part of the video. So, after the reformation, Catholic in Croatia, Orthodox Serbians/Greeks/Macedonians/Montenegrins and others were under Ottoman Empire. Catholic and Orthodox Christians were taxed unlike muslim population and some times Christians were persecutted and some times their children were forcibly recruitted into Janissaries (elite Ottoman Empire infantry unit). Catholicism remained extremely popular in Croatia till this day, but when Vatican I hit about the pope's infabillity, some Catholic bishops rebelled and left Catholic church and formed new denomination called Old Catholic Church which still exists till this day and are protestantized, they are in communion with Lutheran and Anglican churches but remained Catholic. Vatican II was when Novus Ordo was introduced and the mass stopped being on latin and the priest was facing people instead of an altar, and it brought some good changes as far as I know (I am aware of heavy politics, but I do appreciate positive feedback on accepting our Protestant family in Christ back). Orthodox Christians as I heard had not responded lightly to Martin Luther's theology. So far as to say that Patriarch of Constantinople rejected his offer (Martin Luther wanted to reconcile with Orthodox Church). Lutherans that came from Germany and Austria were allowed in 19th century to build churches, preach the Gospel and other things in Croatia. Methodists as I had read on their page were also present in Croatia since the 19th century. Regarding Methodists, fun fact, Greek Orthodox bishop in Amsterdam ordinated John Wesley's preachers and the rumors go that the same bishop may or may not had consecrated Wesley as the bishop. That is all, great video btw.

Papal infallibility is very misunderstood by non-Catholics. As Catholics we do NOT believe the pope’s opinions are infallible. We only believe that specific questions with regard to the church can be answered by papal infallibility. In other words, pope can’t just change our doctrine or change our Christian beliefs. He can clarify specifics through the proper process. We believe this because we believe Christ gave the spirit to guide the church. And we also believe in an elected monarchy.

​@@samwon1Islam is easily disproven. many adherents of Islam think that today's Bible has undergone substantial changes with regard to its early manuscripts and their translated versions. However, the Quran does not support this claim unanimously! In fact it makes it clear that the Bible, known as the Torah and the Injil, was found reliable in Muhammad's (p.b.u.h) time, the sixth century. To prove that the twentieth century Bible is still authentic it only has to be compared with a copy from the sixth century.

We are often viewed as fundamentalists, because we don't adhere to the false teachings that have permeated 99% of mainstream "Christianity." And thats just fine. We believe wholeheartedly in Sola Scriptura, Sola Gratia, Sola Fide, Solus Christus, Soli Deo Gloria: we believe by Scripture Alone, by Grace Alone, by Faith Alone, in Christ Alone, and for the Glory of God Alone.

Several corrections: Catholics have never denied the Apostolic Succession of Easter or Oriental Orthodoxy. And if the Catholics took 800 years - after the East-West Schism - to formally state their view of the Pope's authority, how does that invalidate the concept? The many Church Councils imply the authority of the patriarchs of Apostolic Sees. Moreover, many matters of faith were not defined for hundreds of years, such as the Trinity or the nature of Christ.

As far as I know (and I am a bit of a bible nerd and am well-versed with the opinions of “oneness” orgs) No oneness scholars or preachers would say there was a time when Jesus did not exist. Believing that Jesus is God inherently means that he’s an eternal being outside of time.

[@MonstersOfTheUniverse]

St Ignatius of Antioch one ofThe church fathers coins the term Catholic. Before the Protestant reformation there was only the apostolic church made up of the catholic and orthodox sides Btw scripture is not the authority. It’s the church that Jesus established and predates the New Testament, that is the authority. It is the church who wrote down New Testament, who established the churches across the land…it is because of the church that we have the Bible, the library of scripture.

[@slyguy.7216]

I get what you're saying but maybe amend the statement to "scripture is not the only authority". It is the highest, but not the only (Tradition and Magisterium being the other two of course). No need making some unnecessarily offended if it can be avoided.

The problem with the Ecumenism is that the Catholic church has not made the proper changes to their beliefs regarding everything Luther and Protestants called them out on and hence protested for. So how can you unite with the Church that is blasphemous against the word of God. Come on, you don't see that????

[@NIMRODWARDA]

FYI, I am Assyrian and I can confirm that the (Assyrian) Church of the East does not believe what was stated. Likewise, Nestorius did not believe what he is blamed for believing. Modern scholars have clarified this point. Unfortunately, the division was mostly political between Nestorius (who was the bishop of Constantinople) and Cyril (who was the bishop of Antioch). The Church of the East got lumped into this debate because they wouldn't denounce Nestorius (who was not even a member of our clergy).

[@joshhernandez6974]

Brother. All over the Bible God is seen speaking about the future right next to a verse that is contemporary to the people being addressed by the prophet in question. for example in Isaiah 28: 5 Hence …Jesus wasn’t always referring to the times when he was preaching when he prophesied …it was often about the future. One clear example is when Jesus said “today the prince of this world (the devil ) is cast out “ John 12: 31 - Was the devil cast out in 37AD or so ? NO. By “today “ Jesus was referring to the future. The day when the sun goes dark and the moon turns into blood (Joel 2: 31, Ezekiel 32: 7, Matthew 24: 29) it’s what we call the wrath of God. After the tribulation

[@theeternalsbeliever1779]

It's literally impossible for this to be true because the Bible teaches that all human governments will have been completely dismantled and permanently abolished by Christ when He returns. And judging from the obvious lack of peace, prosperity, and knowledge of God in the world, it's safe to say that Christ hasn't returned yet.

The point about fundamentalists retreating from mainstream church and society is so interesting, it reminds me of John the Baptist.

I feel this way too, I feel like the world is so corrupted and lead astray, like never before. There will be great upheaval in those days. God bless everyone!

Oneness Pentecostals don’t believe Jesus was “created”. Oneness Pentecostals believe that God, the Creator of all that is seen and unseen, was born of the virgin Marg, took upon himself human flesh as Jesus, lived a sinless life, died a sinner’s death, rose from the grave on the third day & ascended into Heaven 40 days later.

[@jacksbrewing2618]

As a oneness pentecostal myself I feel a lot of people misunderstand what we believe because what they have heard about us and our theology is from a biased POV. Most definitely we believe Jesus is Lord, and Jesus is the same God in the old testament as He is in the new. Jesus is God come down in human form, both fully divine and fully human. As stated in 1 timothy 3:16, great is the mystery of godliness, God was manifest in the flesh and justified in the spirit. Some may ask "how can Jesus be fully God and fully human"?. As stated, that's the mystery of Godliness. Great approach friend : )

Gabe you may as well be a Muslim asking how many times the trinity is mentioned in scripture for how logical that response was buddy. Some things being predestined doesn't entail that the Calvinist position is correct.

[@willhelmadollar]

Sure thing. Basically, because of the fall and the extent of sin in the human heart and mind, man cannot and will not choose God. That is essential to understanding predestination. Not that man has no free will, but because of the blinding effects of sin our free will is in bondage to sin (anyone who sins is a slave to sin, so if son sets you free you shall be free indeed). Because of this and God’s love, grace, and foreknowledge, he chose to save certain people for the ultimate purpose of his own glory. This is based not on anything good or bad He sees in his chosen, or any foreknowledge of a choice He sees them making. That is why it is called unconditional election. Because God chooses to save people based not on anything we do, but 100% because of the grace within Him. I would encourage you to not get caught up in weeds of trying to fully understand this, but reflect upon the fact that God is greater than anything in the entire universe and yet still shows grace, love, and mercy freely to his people. May the Lord be with you!

Problems for Trinitarians. Jesus affirms that his Father is the only one who is truly God and that he ( Jesus) is the Messiah - the Christ (John 17:3). Jesus tells Mary Magdalene that his Father is in fact his God ( John 20:17) YHWH establishes that “he" is the only God, and beside him there is no one else. (Isaiah 45:5-6). Let's all respect and stand up for Jesus and YHWH with these clear declarations.

@PP Derrick I mean Jesus is ONE with the Father as in Jesus came from the Father. He was formed from the Spirit of the Father and the Father fully dwelled in him. Jesus did not come of his own, but the Father sent him. This is what it means when the bible says the begotten son of the Father.
